Okay, these little guys popped up all through my D. burmanii swamp-soil and I don't have a clue what they are! The same soil also sprouted a few D. indica plantlets. The flower stems do not appear to originate with any above ground plants, coming up separately. There do seem to be a whole lot of very tiny green, grass-like plants (but not grass) sprouting as well and it may be that these flowers are coming from the sub-soil roots of them. The flowers are either white;  or yellow;  and here's the "grass-like" leaves;  Anybody got any guesses? ;D |

My dear Shawn, those are Utricularia! The duck-beakflower CP. I think the yellow flower would be Utricularia gibba. How lucky you are to just get them like that, without wishing for it or even knowing what it was, and it's a CP to boot! Now you can add those to your CP growlist  Save me some seeds of both okay  Where did you get those d. burmannii btw? |

Thanks for the feedback Athene, I'll be glad to save you some seeds but think it'd be easier to just send you a whole soil plug of them. I'm off on my trip today but will be back in a week (or so) and can put something together and send off then. I sent off a total of 30 packages this month and all but one made it (had an incorrect address on the one!). PM me about your interest in hoyas as after sending I made another 60-70 cuttings! Thanks again for your plants! The D. burmanii came from a Thai father and son team from Southern Thailand that were selling neps and D. burmannii at a local market last year. Shawn |

Not U. gibba. First 1 look like U. caerulea and the second could be U. bifida.

If you found these terrestrial Utricularia in Johor together with N. rafflesiana, N. ampullaria and N. gracilis,
The yellow flower = U. bifida
The white flower = U. caerulea
The tiny purple blue flower = U. minutissima
The slightly big purple blue flower = U. uliginosa
Johor is really a paradise for carnivorous plants.

The white one might be U. bisquimata. The flowers look the same as mine.
